Protest songs will do worse than "not work" if the songwriters be clueless, insult spewing jerks. Fwiw: I don't think y'all hit rock bottom there just yet. You can do a lot worse if you set yourself to it.

Joe: They're not scared because of their ethnicity. It is because of what they've done. Ukrainians & Armenians face the same fears and correct living is the only cure. Neither "Hispanic" nor "Community" at all.

As for who'uns I know and how well: Both major American political parties require a "scarey to death" Mexico to protect somebody from, be they refugee, immigrant or citizen. I am calling that pure BS xenophobic politics.

I defy you or any Mudcatter to tell me Mexico City today does not give Paris, London or New York a run for its money on all accounts.

Americans and Europeans are vacationing in, and retiring permanently to, Mexico on a monthly basis, as I write.

Most Mexican towns and cities are safer and more open than Chicago or Detroit or Oakland. Lower standards of living can be found in regions of Arkansas, West Virginia, &c no problemo.

Recent Mexican plagues; famines; natural disasters &c = 0

Wars = 1 = The Yanks and their drug suppliers. Red or Blue; left or right; Republican or Democrat; U.S. elections change nothing; the worst thing about living in Mexico is U.S. violence exported south.

Deportation is not a 'scared to death sentence.' It is a very real emotional & economic setback in direct proportion to one's investments in the North. For most it's measured in months or years, not decades and much of it spent gaming the appeals process.

And none of the above has anything to do with your opponents being smart enough to see Mudcat songwriters would excuse most anything from Trump if his last name were Castro and his policies did your political & ethnic rivals harm. Hispanic there is; Community there is; Hispanic Community there is not. Happy songwriting.
